Changing Your Outlook Can Help with Adrenal Exhaustion Symptoms and Lower Your Risk of Osteoporosis

As we age our bones become less dense and the risk of osteoporosis and other adrenal exhaustion symptoms increases, especially . Osteoporosis is a major contributor to serious fractures in the elderly and can interfere with health and the ability to live independently. A new study reveals that women between the ages of 60 and 70 who have greater levels of satisfaction in their lives have greater bone density and are less likely to suffer from osteoporosis.Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland examined data from over 2,000 women who were born between 1931 and 1941 to determine whether there was a connection between life satisfaction and bone density. The women had their bone density measured in 1999 and 1,147 of them were measured again in 2009.When they had their bone density measurements, the women were also given surveys to measure their life satisfaction. The surveys asked questions related to their interest in life, their happiness, and how lonely they felt. They were then divided into three groups based on their answers, one group indicated high life satisfaction, another group had low satisfaction, and the third group was in the middle. The study was designed to examine how depression might impact bone health.Over the ten year course of the study, the women saw an average decrease in bone density of about 4%. Those who were dissatisfied had an average decrease in bone density 52% greater than those with higher satisfaction levels.The researchers also found that those whose life satisfaction scores decreased over the ten year study had 85% greater decrease in density than those whose life satisfaction increased over the same time period.Other studies have found that even before menopause, women who are depressed have less bone mass than those who are not, placing them at greater risk of future osteoporosis.Other risk factors for osteoporosis include age, lack of physical activity, smoking, calcium and Vitamin D deficiency. It is possible that those with less life satisfaction are less likely to and get enough exercise, and more likely to smoke. Also, depression can cause havoc with the metabolism, so nutrients aren’t properly absorbed.While it is unsure whether bone health is directly impacted by mental health or influenced by one’s behaviors, it is clear how strongly mental health influences physical well-being.Adrenal Fatigue and Adrenal Exhaustion Symptoms are Overlooked Causes of OsteoporosisAdrenal fatigue is one of the most underdiagnosed causes of osteoporosis. The additional cortisol that is produced by the adrenals has a demineralizing effect on bones. With an overproduction of cortisol, you also have a decrease in the production of your sex hormones. This is because the body does not see the production of sex hormones as necessary to sustain life; the main concern is cortisol production to combat a perceived threat and thus save your life. The problem, however, is that a decrease in the production of your sex hormones contributes towards osteoporosis!Dr. Lam’s Perspective on Adrenal Exhaustion SymptomsFor those in the later stages of adrenal fatigue, dissatisfaction with life and a sense of depression can be common adrenal exhaustion symptoms. Many who have gotten to this stage of adrenal fatigue have been given up on and have a low life satisfaction due to feeling hopeless about their condition. The physiological effects of imbalanced hormones and neurotransmitters in adrenal fatigue makes it difficult for these people to turn their attitude positive without outside help. Many are frustrated, disappointed, and depressed.This would mean that those who are suffering from severe adrenal fatigue, and often have a poor life satisfaction, are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.

Dr. Lam’s Perspective on Adrenal Exhaustion Symptoms

For those in the later stages of adrenal fatigue, dissatisfaction with life and a sense of depression can be common adrenal exhaustion symptoms. Many who have gotten to this stage of adrenal fatigue have been given up on by their conventional doctors and have a low life satisfaction due to feeling hopeless about their condition. The physiological effects of imbalanced hormones and neurotransmitters in adrenal fatigue makes it difficult for these people to turn their attitude positive without outside help. Many are frustrated, disappointed, and depressed.

This would mean that those who are suffering from severe adrenal fatigue, and often have a poor life satisfaction, are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.
